Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given that a population of beetles has an allele frequency of 0.6 for a dominant trait, calculate the expected frequency for the recessive trait and explain the process.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation p + q = 1.

Question 2

In a small population of 50 fish, allele A has a frequency of 0.7. If a rare mutation introduces a new allele B, how might this change the allele frequencies over generations?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how competition for resources might favor certain traits.
